Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Documentation/kconfig: more concise and straightforward search explanation

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@...e.fr>

Re-phrase the explanations on the sorting of search results, in a more
concise and complete way.

Drop reference to the user's locale when sorting alphabetically, since
this is implicit.
